  • Better to do away with the entire concept of downloading and running a shell script like that, and use distro native packages instead. It’s not hard to create DEB or RPM packages, ebuilds aren’t too bad either, and it sounds like AUR packages are managable too.

    The entire concept of blindly downloading a script, running it as root, and hoping that, in the best case, it’d install the version of the software you want is a bit crazy. If the upstream developers refuse to provide packages, please, at least, provide a tarball.




  • Once you start ‘succeeding’ at what you’re doing it tends to feel like it takes less energy, and if you start to feel good about it, you’ll also tend to feel more energetic, so it forms a self reinforcing loop.

    It won’t work like that for everyone. You have to actually be enthused about the idea of succeeding at whatever it is you’re doing and not push so hard you burn out regardless of success, but if you can get into that frame of mind, things becone easier.








  • Surgery, especially on animals.

    In any other context, someone cutting you open, slicing bits out or rearranging them, them sewing you shut would be considered horrific, but we do it because we know that the short term suffering out weighs the long term harm of not doing it. When you choose it for yourself it might not be too ‘evil’, but an animal would not understand, even if you know it will mean they get to live a long, happy life, free of the pain and suffering that issue would otherwise cause.








  • Yes, the IMEI uniquly identifies the phone itself, so if the GSM radio is on, the network can monitor it’s approximate location.

    There’s a couple of caveats: IMEI cloning is possible, but unlikely, and he accuracy of the triangulation will depend on a lot of factors including how far apart the towers are and what sort of obstructions there are between you and the towers. My understanding is that it is done by comparing your signal strength at each of the towers as a proxy for distance. If there’s a large obstruction that reduces your signal to a tower it could throw those measurements off. They’ll know you’re in the area, but not exactly where.
